"For the last forty years of my ministry no biblical issue has proved more recurrent or more vexing than the nature of the Mosaic law as it relates to the gospel and the new covenant. The pastoral implications for how you preach the gospel, aim at sanctification, comfort strugglers, give assurance, and admit people to membership in the church, are huge. Jason Meyer is a good guide. I found myself writing 'YES!' in the margins repeatedly. And there were enough 'Aha' moments of fresh discovery to make me want to keep going. I thank God for this younger scholar. His book is a precious gift to the church."
- John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church
"To read Jason Meyer's The End of the Law is to enter into the thrill of seeing the abundance of grace and power God has unleashed through his radical new covenant in Christ and the Spirit. … To see the new covenant for what it is--God's answer in Christ and the Spirit to the intransigent sinful rebellion of his people--is to celebrate the greatness of the gospel and the surpassing richness of God's gift to his people in his Son and in his Spirit. What joy to know that the law has ended and new life in Christ has come. Meyer's development of these themes, so central to the gospel, is simply superb."
- Bruce A. Ware, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"One of virtues of this work is its elegant clarity. Meyer defines terms succinctly and clearly, so that readers are not lost in a forest of obscurity. Even more important, Meyer advances his case with in-depth and convincing exegesis. NT scholars are known for their exegetical skills, but Meyer's exegesis is coupled with theological rigor and insight which one finds too infrequently among biblical scholars."
- Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"One of the limitations of much previous study [of the covenant in Paul] has been the failure to advance discussion methodologically. In that respect alone, Jason Meyer's work is to be warmly welcomed. By taking up and developing the kind of approach that opens up, rather than closes down, possibilities, Meyer shows that there is much still to do in understanding Paul's notion of the old and new covenants. As a result, he pursues several new areas of exploration, and puts forward an eschatological approach that certainly merits consideration."
- Stanley E. Porter, President and Dean, and Professor of New Testament, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
"Dr. Meyer's synthesis of Paul's theology of the old and new covenants is grounded in careful and thorough exegesis of Paul's writings, is clearly expressed, and is informed by the most recent research on the subject. The book provides a helpful model for guiding others in the task of developing a truly biblical theology. … This combination of scholarship and worship makes The End of the Law immensely readable and instructive... Jason Meyer is among the most promising Christian leaders in our generation."
